Drivetrain system
2022 Highlander Hybrid Bronze Edition blends an efficient 2.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder power unit with two electric motors. The gas engine adopts a Variable Valve Timing system on the intake camshaft and VVT-i on the exhaust camshaft. There's also a variable cooling system with electric water pump and electric thermostat and a fully variable oil pump help to further enhance the engine efficiency. This setup offers a manufacturer-estimated 36 combined MPG rating.

At the same time, the small battery pack is installed under the rear seats so it does not take up any cargo or passenger space. This means Highlander Hybrid drivers get all the benefits of a hybrid powertrain without sacrificing much-needed cargo room for everyday activities.
